It's a great feeling when your work is published in a newspaper - whether it's in New York or Sydney!

But it's a beautiful feeling when my friends trust me and my brushes!

My gorgeous Fiance proposed to me at the Summit on 11 January 2010!

His proposal was very sweet. He was so nervous! He had my Mummy's blessing and she  tied the ring box up with a pretty red ribbon!

We haven't set a date yet, but I'm already making inspiration boards and collecting ideas from past clients, current clients, websites & magazines.

I discovered a gorgeous wedding blog run by the lovely Amanda Fuller, who contacted me to do her makeup for a portrait shoot.

Amanda has great taste and her blog has given me lots of ideas!

A few weeks ago, Carey contacted me again to do her face for an article in BusinessWeek (USA) magazine!

Carey Schuster runs a fabulous website called Girls Guide To The World. Targeted towards women, Girls’ Guide to the World is a leading authority on all things chic for stylish travellers - where to shop, where to eat, where to sleep and where to be pampered!

I have had the best and busiest week at the Fashion Festival at Martin Place in Sydney.

I was booked to do make-up every day for the Perrier "waitresses" who served Perrier backstage of the runway and at the MLC VIP Bar...gorgeous girls, we had so much fun each night!

On Wednesday, my gorgeous girlfriend and Fashion Stylist to the stars, Leena Thompson and I attended Samantha Wills Designer Luncheon (jewellery designer) at the Gazebo ...amazing jewellery, amazing girl...check out her website www.samanthawills.com.au.

There were approximatley 80 exclusive guests, including Sami Lucas, Zoe Naylor, Faye Delanty, Lizzy Lovette, Troy Thompson and Dancing with the Stars choreographer Nacho Pop.

The shoot took place at the COFA (UNSW College of Fine Arts) photographic studios for photographer Luke Stambouliah's upcoming exhibition.

With Luke's creative direction, me and my team (Melissa Neville of Chop Shop, Potts Point on hair, and Maree Spagnol assiting me with make-up) we were to give the girls glamour makeup but their hair was to be wet and shaggy and their bodies wet and muddy.

Everything came together beautifully and we had such a fab evening! Luke's wonderful mother made the most amazing sandwiches - "so what" you say?! It's a very big deal to get fed, and fed well, on a 6 hour shoot!

The professional photos will be uploaded in a few weeks.
